Credit Transfer for High School Students: Math and Engineering Credits Explained

AI Thread Summary
High school students with college credits often wonder about the transferability of those credits and their impact on GPA. Generally, when transferring to a new college, the credits can fulfill degree requirements, but the grades from those courses typically do not factor into the new institution's GPA. Each college usually calculates GPA based solely on courses taken at that specific institution. However, when applying for graduate school, all transcripts from previous colleges will be required, meaning all grades will be visible to admissions committees.

I'm currently a high school student, but have several credits from a local university, mostly for math and some from engineering. If I want these credits to transfer to where ever I end up going to college, does the credit alone transfer (by which I mean does it simply count towards fulfilling requirements), or will the grades from these classes end up actually factoring into my college GPA?

Generally, your GPA at a particular college/university includes only courses that you take at that institution. If you later apply for graduate school, they will generally want you to submit transcripts from all the colleges/universities that you have attended, so they will see all your grades in any event.
 
Thanks for the reply :).
 
Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
